Different food groups are studied, with a chapter devoted to each major classification of foods. Both the Biblical evidence and modern-day scientific research are considered. Foods are classified as ÒGod-given foodsÓ and Ònon-God-given foods.Ó The main point is a healthy eating plan is composed of a variety of God-given foods and avoids non-God-given foods.
Unlike similar books, this book does not promote a vegetarian diet. God gave us meat for food, and meat-eating is assumed throughout Scripture, with no negative connotations. In addition, red meat, poultry, and fish can and should be included in a healthy eating plan.
The God-given foods eating plan is also designed to optimize hormones, such as testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin. This can produce dramatic differences in a personÕs health and well-being and can lead to a gain in muscle mass and a loss of body fat. It can also lead to improved athletic performance. This book also looks at other aspects of athletic nutrition.
